Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 10 From "Stealing the Bride" to "Secret Infiltration"!
The emperor's sharp voice came from the Qianqiu Longsui Palace, startling the sparrows that were nesting under the beams...

"The minister's uncle disregarded the law and discipline, and deserved it!"

Jian Shuo buried his head very low.

The emperor Liu Hong's eyes were narrowed, he didn't care at all whether Jian Shuo's uncle deserved what he deserved, the only thing he cared about was Liu Yu, the eldest son of the emperor!
"Before that, Cao Cao and Yu'er got acquainted, right?"

Liu Hong asked a question.

"Yes!" Jian Shuo said truthfully: "Two years before that, the eldest son of the emperor met Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and the relationship was tacit. Stealing the bride!"

"Stealing the bride?" Liu Hong asked back.

Jian Shuo's voice continued. "It seems that stealing the bride is a joke among children, but in fact... they are practicing how to sneak into the manor and evacuate the manor in a planned way, and their purpose of doing so..."

Jian Shuo paused for a moment, then raised his head slightly to see the face of Emperor Liu Hong.

And Liu Hong leaned forward, showing great interest in the actions of the three of them including Yu'er.

"Say!"

"This starts with the identities of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao." Jian Shuo explained in detail: "Cao Cao is the son of Cao Song, the great Honglu, and Yuan Shao is the concubine son of Sikong and Yuan Feng, and Cao Song is the regular attendant of Emperor Shun and Emperor Huan. Cao Teng's adopted son, Cao Cao is naturally the eunuch's adopted grandson..."

"But Cao Cao dislikes eunuchs very much and wants to be with scholars. That's why he has been deliberately ignorant and troublesome since he was a child. His purpose is to cover up the fact that he betrayed the eunuchs and secretly contacted scholars. .”

"In fact, since he was a child, he has often opposed eunuchs, so that after graduating from the Imperial Academy, no one dared to call him Xiaolian, and no one dared to arrange for him to be an official."

"The sad thing is, even so, the scholars still alienate him because of his status as the eunuch's foster grandson! As for Yuan Shao, he is restrained by his status as a concubine, and many scholars are more willing to make friends with Yuan Shu, the son of the Yuan family... Both of them There is an urgent need to make a major event so that the scholars can accept them and see their determination and energy!"

Jian Shuo's information was accurate.

But... these are the surface layers!
As for the internal reasons, we have to mention the second disaster of party imprisonment.

In this disaster of party imprisonment, eunuchs persecuted party members wantonly.

And it was Tai Fu Yuan Kai and Sikong Yuan Feng who secretly helped the party members withdraw from Luoyang City, gave them money, and helped them live in seclusion in various places.

From this point of view, it is not too much to say that the Yuan family in Runan is the benefactor of all the party members in the world today.

If we follow the wheel of history, a few years later, the Yuan family in Runan will be so famous that they can dominate the four northern states, not only because of their family of four generations and three fathers!
In terms of family, the Hongnong Yang family is still five generations and three princes, but in the troubled times that followed, compared with the Yuan family, I don't know how many orders of magnitude less!
In the final analysis, it was because of the actions of "Runan Yuan" in the two disasters of party imprisonment that he won a good name and prestige in Kyushu!

And Yuan Shao keenly observed this point, which is a great halo, but he is a bastard, born of a maid.

But the concubine's status is awkward in this era, the prestige of the Yuan family can't be added to him at all, and he can't gain a foothold among scholars!

It is for this reason that he intends to take the risk, go deep into the tiger's den, and make great achievements, so as to gain the attention of scholars all over the world and get rid of his current embarrassing status!
As for Cao Cao... the guy who betrayed the eunuchs but was rejected by the scholars, his identity... is actually the most suitable.

Therefore, Yuan Shao chose Cao Cao to act together!
As for Liu Yu's joining, it was a pure accident, but it was also a huge surprise!

Who would have thought that Yuan Shao admired this little Taoist priest from the bottom of his heart for his thoughtfulness and careful deployment of Zhou Xiang.

hiss…

hear or two...

Liu Hong's eyes trembled, he could understand the feelings of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

After all, this is an era when "wind criticism" and "fame" are more important than life...

It's just that Yu'er is a Taoist?In other words, it seems that there is no need to compete for the support of these scholars for a five-dou rice sect to sacrifice wine at the altar?
It seems that Confucianism and Taoism have always been incompatible!

Just thinking of this, Jian Shuo's voice continued.

"In order for Cao Cao to get rid of the status of 'eunuch raising grandson' and Yuan Shao for getting rid of the shackles of 'bass son' status, the two planned to sneak into the residence of Zhang Rang, the chief minister, and steal a book that could threaten him."

"As for the account, it records the amount of bribes paid to him by people from all walks of life! If this account can be stolen, scholars can use it to threaten Zhang Rang so that he does not dare to persecute party members wantonly, regardless of whether it is Cao Cao or not. Or Yuan Shao can also get the recognition and support of the scholars! He can also earn an excellent reputation!"

When mentioning Zhang Rang's black account, Jian Shuo looked up at Emperor Liu Hong again, wanting to see his expression.

It's a pity that it's plain... The emperor Liu Hong showed an unusual plainness, just like Zhang Rang's "shady scenes", he knew about it early in the morning.

"continue!"

He blurted out the words calmly and coldly.

Jian Shuo continued: "In order to successfully steal the black account in Zhang Changshi's mansion, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao began to practice infiltrating. The places to infiltrate were those manors with happy events. Take the bride and escape successfully!"

"And precisely, after an operation failed, the eldest son of the emperor rescued the two of them, and covered the evacuation, and immediately pointed out their purpose for doing so! After some chatting, the three hit it off and became close friends!"

"Emperor's eldest son personally deployed and planned for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and helped Cao Cao sneak into Zhang Changshi's mansion to attract attention. Then, Yuan Shao sneaked in from another place and successfully stole the black account."

Huo…

Hearing this, Emperor Liu Hong's eyes opened in vain, and the pupils that were originally calm like lake water instantly released a brilliant light.

stunning...

This is the second time today, the eldest son of the emperor surprised him!

You know, how old was Yu'er three years ago?
It's unbelievable enough to get along with Cao Jiazi and Yuan Jiazi!

He still... was able to make such a blundering arrangement and steal an account book from Zhang Rang's mansion.

——What a meticulous thought!
Liu Hong's eyes widened. This was a surprise, and a huge surprise!

Speaking of which, Liu Hong is no stranger to Zhang Rang's mansion.

That is because once, Liu Hongdeng looked far away and saw a private mansion built in imitation of a palace, and was about to ask a question, but Zhang Rang advised him: "The emperor should not climb high, and the common people will be scattered."

Liu Hong said yes, but secretly sent the Xiyuan Army to investigate.

Sure enough, the private residence was the residence of Zhang Changshi.

As for why Liu Hong didn't punish him!

This is about mentioning the "Emperor's Heart Technique", it's a long story!

Liu Hong was extremely impressed with Zhang Rang's Qionglou Yuyu. According to the news from the Xiyuan Army, because of the heavy traffic of people who come to Zhang's house to bribe every day, it is heavily guarded. Don't say that a person can sneak into it. Safe evacuation, even if a cat wants to sneak in, it is very difficult.

But...Under Yu'er's plan, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao did it!
This…

"In Zhang Rang's mansion, Yu'er probably has an internal response, right?"

Liu Hong muttered subconsciously.

Jian Shuo quickly replied, "I don't know!"

Liu Hong smiled slightly, Zhang Rang met the assassin, there were discussions in the court, but in the end, there was a lot of thunder and little rain.

Thinking about it, it was probably Dahonglu Cao Song who made some arrangements!
In my impression, Zhang Rang mentioned in the court hall that the assassin brandished his halberd and fought all the way out of the court hall. The guards were helpless, and finally jumped over the wall and came out.

Ha ha…

Thinking of this, Liu Hong smiled.

Even though it was Yu'er's deployment, Yuan Shao "hit the west", but Cao Cao's "sound east" is really a bit too fierce!
This is obvious, Zhang Rang's mansion must have Yu'er's internal response.

In other words... someone from the Five Dou Rice Sect has already successfully sneaked into the mansion of the Zhongchang Attendant, cooperating inside and outside!
Therefore, the whole process of stealing accounts has become so logical.

only…

Liu Hong still can't figure it out, Yu'er...or is it the Five Dou Rice Sect?Why do you want to get involved in this factional dispute between scholars and eunuchs?
Or...the purpose of Yu'er is not to get involved in this faction dispute, but...to value Cao Cao and Yuan Shao?
Or... what he values ​​is the family behind these two people?
Ah…

With a sudden sigh, Liu Hong sighed with emotion in a low voice: "Under Yu'er's arrangement, the Five Dou Rice Sect in the Central Plains is quite capable!"

Jian Shuo only saw the emperor speak, but didn't know what he just said, so he immediately asked:

"His Majesty…"

Unexpectedly, before he could blurt out the words, Liu Hong's words had already been interrupted.

"Go on, after this incident, what else did Yu'er, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao do, you take your time, about Yu'er, I want you to tell everything about it, without hiding anything!"

"Here, here..."

Jian Shuo hastily agreed, it was the first time he felt that the emperor in front of him was serious, and he who was always not happy, this time he was serious from the inside out!

Could it be... this...

Is this the energy of the eldest son of the emperor?

...
